A little MTG timeline.

May 2024: Extremely happy with standard, can't get enough of the format.

January 2025: Hesitant about Standard and attending the first Spotlight Series.

October 2025: I don't think I'll ever buy into Standard again.

I've been very much enjoying FAB recently. Especially with the new tournament packs having a shot at a fancy version of my favorite hero

This will be hard to open up after strixhaven's last narrative but I will do it anyway for the love of the game.

We are one week closer to the release of OMENS OF CHAOS, and the glorious return of Magic the Gathering long-form fiction!

A book cover against a blue background reading COMING FEBRUARY 17, 2026. The book cover shows a blonde-haired human New Capenna shield mage in the robes of a first year Strixhaven mage-scholar, casting a domed shield around herself. The school is behind her. The text on the cover reads "STRIXHAVEN | OMENS OF CHAOS | SEANAN MCGUIRE | New York Times Bestselling Author."

There's a never ending number of opinions about Magic out there, but we think the majority of the player base agrees, Scryfall is an invaluable resource.

So this week Graham sits down with the founder of Scryfall, Corey Csuhta for a chat! youtu.be/8D-3dbB5Sqw

I'm really excited to see when and how they print a second necromancer. First attempt at the class is good and fun to play.

Gravy Bones and Cindra have taken the lead in Classic Constructed, but Verdance isn't far behind... 🌹 Could you be the revered hero your local game store needs to shake things up? 👀

Don't worry, the real card art is not similar.

Lee McLeod @leemcleod.bsky.social · 10d

It's harder than you may think!

Lee McLeod @leemcleod.bsky.social · 10d
